In white noise the energy (power) is the same for each frequency - by definition. So for a bunch of successive frequencies (bandwidth) the average RMS power will become proportionally larger. Electric power is proportional to voltage squared. Thus the voltage (RMS amplitude) of white noise will be proportional to the square root of its bandwidth.
